Starts out with an uninvited guest meeting me at parking area – he seems ready to hunt and determined to go with us so OK …
We had to cross a grass field containing a herd of 40 or so elk in the pre-dawn gloom and driving rain – the dog (and new friend) chase the elk for awhile – then the elk chase the dogs for awhile – finally the elk run into the woods -
There is supposed to be a blind in the trees somewhere, but I never found it, maybe it’s covered with water. The woods are full of elk and they are screaming back and forth –
Nothing flying, nothing calling, except elk – no blind – so we leave.
Down the road a couple hundred yards there’s a field full of mallards, and bulls – they are all very happy to stay and I don’t have permission to hunt that field.
Lots of water about – and lots of swans
No shots fired but a good day
